Certifications & Skills

You can use the Certifications & Skills page to view, add, remove, or delete information about a student's certifications and skills.

Anthology Student automatically adds skills for a course when all of these requirements are met:

• The course is in the course list for the program version or area of study, or you add a course and select a category
• The course is configured with associated skills
• The student completes the course with the required credits
• The student completes the course with the minimum GPA

Anthology Student will also automatically remove skills if there is a change that causes the course not to meet the requirements. For example, if you change the grade, and it no longer meets the minimum GPA.

To determine whether a course has met the required credits, Anthology Student checks the grade scale. If the credits earned in the grade scale are greater than or equal to the value for Min Grade Point - Skills configured on the program version or area of study, the requirements are met, and Anthology Student adds the skills.

If there is a minimum GPA configured for the course for the program version or area of study using the Min Grade Point - DPA/SPE field, Anthology Student also verifies that the minimum GPA is met before the skills are added.

Anthology Student automatically adds skills for transfer credits when:

• A relationship was added to a course at your institution, and the course is configured with associated skills
• The transfer credits are approved

For Anthology Student to automatically add skills for transfer credits, your institution must also have selected Yes for the following advanced feature: Allow Advanced Transfer Credit Select Yes to use the new feature in 21.2 that lets you configure Advanced Transfer Credits. When selected, you can configure more complex Transfer Types such as one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many transfers. Select No if you only want to use the existing options for transferring credits.

Anthology Student only automatically adds skills following your upgrade to version 24.0. (Completed courses that meet the requirements and transfer credits that were approved before upgrading to 24.0 will not have skills automatically added.)
